PITTSBURGH - U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum said in a weekend interview that people who do not heed evacuation warnings in the future may need to be penalized, but clarified his remarks Tuesday, saying he did not mean people who lack cars or other resources.

His remarks were sharply criticized by the campaign of Democrat Bob Casey Jr., who is seeking to unseat Santorum, the No. 3 Republican in the Senate.

"At face value (Santorum's comments) show an incredible amount of insensitivity to the Gulf Coast," said Jay Reiff, Casey's campaign manager. "What exactly does Sen. Santorum mean by imposing penalties on people who often times had no transportation and no place to go?"

In a weekend interview with WTAE-TV about the victims of Hurricane Katrina, Santorum said: "I mean, you have people who don't heed those warnings and then put people at risk as a result of not heeding those warnings. There may be a need to look at tougher penalties on those who decide to ride it out and understand that there are consequences to not leaving."
